Seriously, the health thing has been pushed by GMO companies themselves. They created an easy straw man to debunk so that they don’t have to address the actual issues that GMO products, which are much more sinister to me.
Controlling food production in such a draconian way should send you straight to jail, forever.
GMO companies are not in the business of claiming that GMOs are harmful to your health, and their claims that "this modified crop has more Vitamin A", etc, are both specific and substantiated.
I don't get your take on my original comment at all. Anti-GMO "health" bs is right up there with anti-vax and anti-nuclear power bullshit.
No, that’s not what I was saying. I’m saying it’s the popular talking point because it’s the ones GMO companies like Monsanto often choose to address in PR moves because it’s easy to debunk.
Reread what I said, I’m not saying GMOs are bad for you. I’m agreeing with you. I’m saying it’s all the other things you mentioned that are the real reason these companies deserve to be scrutinized.
